Think 30
Your Path To Graduation
Think 30 is a UCCS initiative to encourage students to work with academic advisors towards developing a graduation plan. Baccalaureate degrees require at least 120 credit hours which translates into earning 30 hours per year to graduate in 4 years or 24 credit hours per year to graduate in 5 years. We know college is expensive and we want to make sure students take advantage of every resource to stay on track and graduate in a timely manner.
Planning for 30 credits each year sets you up on a path for success. Studies have shown that students who follow this path do better academically, ultimately take on less student loan debt, and are more likely to graduate.

Concerned about taking on additional credits? Consider earning credits over the summer, pre-term or spring break sessions, or extend your graduation timeline to meet your needs.
